Does the world need architects the way it needs engineers? The world doesn’t think so. Architects, at least you can advertise to your clients that your services are tax-free.

Architects are talented people and that talent should be spread around, even taken advantage of by other disciplines. To waste that talent on only making buildings is stupid.

As was also previously said, if a student is working on jobs that are earning money for the practice, they absolutely should be financially compensated for this.

If you are a post-Part II graduate, you should absolutely be paid for your work at an architectural practice. This is not an internship – this is a JOB.

We are taught to present our work well and in some cases workshops in designing our CV. Compare this with a graduate from a more academic course and I think we are doing quite well.

The competition is a call for ideas but there is no firm commitment to develop the winning scheme post-competition. The competition is subject to a non-refundable registration and administration fee of £50.00 + VAT for design professionals and £10.00 + VAT for design students. It is the intention to shortlist three schemes for a second stage. Each shortlisted entrant will receive an honorarium of £2000 + VAT. There will also be a prize for the best student entry of £500.

Well, if architects don’t value the work of students or graduates contributing to their practice, it’s not surprising that society at large doesn’t value the work of architects!
